Photo of lion costume headpiece

FST Children's Theatre, Androclese

I was charged with creating a lion's mane that fit

with the rest of the costume designs, that was above all

light, breathable, dancable, large and could pack & unpack.

The understructure is what I am most proud of,

but, you can't see it. The airy strips are tied onto a fabric of

large nylon open mesh.
